But while all are undeniably beautiful machines, none approach the astonishing technology packed into Chevrolet s latest: the seventh-generation 2014 Corvette Stingray, which marks the historic resurgence of the Stingray badge for the first time since the mid-1970s.

"It's a massively useful reference work if you want to compare and contrast dimensions, power outputs, weights, etc., which are presented in tabular form, while there's an appendix that covers the options available each year of the 'Vette's life. The absence of these for-addicts-only intricacies frees up the main text which allows non-fanboys to dive in for a genuinely good read." - Racer.com / Sports Car Club of America
'glossy, beautifully printed, with a knowledgeable and entertaining text from one of America’s most respected automotive authors... There’s no denying, it’s a lot of book for the money. Highly recommended.'
'Every Corvette fan needs this book... high on the gift ideas list for any petrolhead. Recommended.'
